Transfers January Transfer Thread 2024

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I wonder what Brentford have found in Nusa's medical that has stalled that deal, and whether its known about in football circles, hence why we never firmed up our interest... some kind of congenital problem?

Can you not read? It's been said many times, including on recent pages here, that Ange's system works very differently to what we had before it, and that system doesn't require a single point-of-focus score-all-the-goals player like Kane - so the list provided above is a variety of assets that together replace Kane (and more).

I guess we could have bought Vlahovic for 100m — AmBiShUn!!!! — and not bothered with Maddison and Van der Ven.

That Johnson transfer makes me wince.

I can go along with the system being the Kane replacement theory in as much as you maximise what you have.

As I also said above; right now it's still a work in progress (with more 'churn' needed come the summer), but....

(Not that I'd say "system being the Kane replacement" in so many words, anyway..... But one can't claim we haven't acted upon Kane's exit when we've brought in 5 attacking players.. That's just bullshit.)

But we need him to come good.

As if we’d somehow be worse if we had Kane up front in this exact system instead of Richarlison lol. Arguing that Ange’s system is better than having Kane is a false equivalence. Stop blaming Kane for being an amazing player with shit managers around him the past few years.

Ange’s system with Kane would be the ideal.

The guy bagged 4 goals in a preseason game. We’d be flying attack wise with him in the team.

We're not the richest club in London, we make the most revenue not the most profit.

I knew some people would weaponise that click bait statement. 🤦‍♂️

For us to make more revenue but lower profit than Ars/Chels, opex and other items would need to be higher than theirs. I doubt the wage bill is higher so what else is driving it? 25m interest expense is probably equivalent to Enzo + Caciedo salaries.

Any evidence or yet more bollocks from you?

Killed your entire argument already, stop speculating and give me something substantial.

You show me the evidence seeing as you're the one disputing the claim, don't be a lazy fuck and come up with a worthwhile rebuttal for a change - you can't claim I'm speaking bollocks if you're doubting your own evidence.

The twat is spending money to replace his own signings a year after signing them then saying they ain't got money to sign anymore.

Said it before, he will be the architect of his own downfall.
